Sukta 11

इन्द्रो॑ जा॒तो म॑नु॒ष्येऽष्व॒न्तर्घ॒र्मस्त॒प्तश्च॑रति॒ शोशु॑चानः । सु॒प्र॒जाः सन्त्स उ॑दा॒रे न स॑र्ष॒द्यो नाश्नी॒यादन॒डुहो॑ विजा॒नन्

índro jātó manuṣyè’śv-ántar gharmás taptáś carati śóśucānaḥ | suprajā́ḥ sán sá udarè ná sarṣad yó ná’śnīyād anaḍúhaḥ vijā́nann

Indra, born among men, as heated Gharma moveth within the horse, blazing. Being rich in offspring, he in the belly shall not slip away—if one, with understanding, eat not of the draught-ox.

Indra, unter Menschen geboren, wandelt wie erhitzter Gharma im Innern des Pferdes, lodernd. Reich an Nachkommenschaft, wird er im Leib nicht entgleiten – wenn einer, der es versteht, nicht vom Zugochsen isst.
